So we went today and got our tree. This year we decided to go up the mountain and get it instead of buying one at a tree farm. It only cost $10 for the permit. We ran into our next door neighbors at the ranger station and they ended up coming with us. That was allot of fun to go with them. Nora is like a third Grandma to Carmen and we like to trade children once in awhile. Their son Stephen has become like our other child. It's a nice thing.
We got to go up high enough (4,000ft)to get into a little bit of snow so that was even more fun for Carmen. The mountains coming up were beautiful and coming down the sun was setting. OMG! What an amazing sight to see. The pictures don't do it justice. I think we will do this again next year.
